Went here to meet friends from all over the country on the 27th. top rate Nottingham brewery ales and a nice chatty landlord who didn't seem phased when ten total strangers pitched up and drank thier way through the entire card. This was probably because we doubled his takings for the night. Can't believe that this pub is so empty with such great beer on offer.

Fine traditional locals pub to the west of the City Centre. This is the home of the Nottingham Brewery, situated behind the pub.

It's a two roomed pub with a central servery. The public bar on the right has a tiled floor with long wooden tables and comfortable seats. In an alcove is a dart board. The saloon bar on the left is carpeted and cosier. There's leaded frosted windows. At the back is a largish garden.

My pint of Nottingham Legend - disappointingly served in a Deuchars IPA branded glass - was in fine form. As well as other Nottingham Brewery beers, Banks and Taylor SOS was on as a guest beer.

There's a collectors card which entitles you to a free drink once you have collected 10 stickers. Oddly enough, this offer is extended to Carling and San Miguel, as well as the Nottingham Brewery beers. Not quite as good as the Castle Rock "one over the 8" promotion, but still not to be sneezed at if you're a regular.

The pub is listed in CAMRA's 2009 GBG and is well worth seeking out.

Finally, I'll update Trainman's earlier posting - the pub now stays open throughout the afternoon.

Adjacent to Nottingham Brewery and, even at 12:00 first knockings on Sun, the beer was in sparkling condition. All from next door - Rock Bitter, EPA (e for extra), Legend, Mild, Bullion, 150 Not Out (ran out, haha), Supreme (listed but n/a – awaiting next brew date). Large high-ceilinged traditional pub which looks original but I read has needed some restoration to remove the abuse incurred when controlled by some larger pub companies, if so, the result is seamlessly good. Enter & turn right to public bar with solid wood tables & chairs surrounded by distressed leather banquettes, a mosaic stone floor, large alcove providing separate area for dartboard, old brewery photos adorn the walls and bottles crowd around the high shelves, plasma in far corner was quietly showing grand prix. Opposite, to the left of the central bar, is the carpeted lounge where chairs & settles are upholstered, to the rear a tarmac beer garden with picnic sets and grass plot beyond. Both rooms have working fireplaces and the nearby dimples in the floor are testament to hobnail-booted workers stamping cold feet in days of yore. Refreshing to see simple signs at the bar proclaiming ‘fresh cobs, made to order’. We have to mention another undoubted asset to the pub; guv’nor Simon is a big, friendly, larger than life character and was a thoroughly good craic, cheers mate. Radford is just 5mins by bus from Nott centre (£1.50) or a taxi here is only £4, a must-visit if in this neck of the woods. You can read more if you add dotcom to nottinghambrewery.

An absolute gem of a pub, right next to the Nottingham Brewery. Fabulous beers - had both the Rock Bitter and the Legend which were perfect. Very friendly landlord. The best in Nottingham along with the Vat & Fiddle and tough to choose a favourite out of the 2. One of a very few pubs I have given a 9 to - the perfect 10 being reserved for a pub like this, but with free beer.
